Lucknow :

Eminent citybased writer and Urdu poet Munawwar Rana was honoured with the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2014 for Shahdaba, a poem written by him. He returned the award about one year later. In 2012, he was awarded Maati Ratan Samman by Shaheed Shodha Sansthan for his services to Urdu literature. He vowed to never again accept a government award due to “rising intolerance in the country leading to statesponsored communalism”.


Born in Rae Bareli in 1952, Rana was an accomplished Urdu-Hindi writer, and his poetry is appreciated in mushairas across the world.


Former UP CM and Samajwadi party chief Akhilesh Yadav in a tribute to the Urdu poet on X, said, “So, now our relationship with this village ends and then when we open our eyes, the dream ends.”
